1 (Generational Performance) Source: Performance comparison using best submitted/published 2-socket server results on the
SPECfp*_rate_base2006 benchmark as of 6 March 2012. Baseline score of 271 published by Itautec on the Servidor Itautec
MX203* and Servidor Itautec MX223* platforms based on the prior generation Intel® Xeon® processor X5690. New score of
492 submitted for publication by Dell on the PowerEdge T620 platform and Fujitsu on the PRIMERGY RX300 S7* platform
based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2690. For additional details, please visit http://www.spec.org.
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel
microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems,
components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should
consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the
performance of that product when combined with other products.
Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and
assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the
actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
